Enjoei Headquarter Office

Silver A' Design Award Winner 2025

Nara Grossi's Enjoei Headquarter Office exemplifies a distinctive approach to contemporary workplace design that thoughtfully navigates the evolving relationship between professional productivity and human comfort, positioning itself within a broader movement toward environments that honor both collaborative work culture and individual wellbeing. The designer demonstrates sophisticated spatial intelligence through the establishment of distinct territorial zones within an open architectural framework, the circular rug functioning as both visual anchor and psychological boundary that defines a lounge territory without imposing physical barriers. The selection of furnishings reveals curatorial sensitivity to design heritage: the chrome tubular chairs evoke Bauhaus and mid-century modern traditions, while the scalloped-back modular sofa introduces a softer, more organic contemporary vocabulary, and the bold yellow accent chair contributes sculptural presence through confident formal simplicity. The exposed industrial ceiling receives transformation through strategic lighting, warm tones rendering utilitarian infrastructure as architectural feature rather than mere necessity. Particularly noteworthy appears the chromatic strategy, which maintains professional neutrality through the dominant cream and taupe palette while permitting moments of joyful exuberance in the floral rug's folk-inspired botanical motifs and the singular yellow accent. The mosaic-clad column introduces material richness and textural variation, its handcrafted surface quality establishing dialogue with the mass-produced precision of surrounding furnishings. Arched openings visible in the background suggest thoughtful circulation design and reference historical architectural vocabularies that soften the contemporary aesthetic. The overall composition invites consideration of how workplace environments might better serve human needs for both productive focus and restorative respite, and viewers may find themselves reflecting upon how spatial design choices influence daily experience, creativity, and connection within professional communities.

Enjoei by Gema Arquitetura is a workplace in Oscar Niemeyer's Copan building in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Occupying an area of 2.100 m2, the design concept was structured with three goals in mind: sustainability, accessibility and a sense of belonging. The project focused on understanding scales, bringing contrast between materials and creating a fluid environment where each element connects. Designed for people, the space is calm, quiet and futuristic. Results speak for themselves: with most people coming from home offices everywhere, the team now is upbeat working in this space every day.
